Since the conceptualization and launching of the Billion Trees Program by the Trees for Life Foundation at the Reception and Diagnostic Centre in the New Bilibid Prison on April 9, 2009, great strides have been made. From a mere concept it was given full support by DENR Secretary Horace Ramos and Supreme Court Chief Justice Reynato Puno. Eventually it was brought to the attention of DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo who promulgated DILG Memorandum Circular 2011-21 on February 9, 2011. Subsequently President Benigno S. Aquino on February 24, 2011 issued Executive Order 26. Thus the Billion Trees Program had transformed into the National Greening Program calling for the planting of 1.5 Billion Trees within the six years tenure of the present administration from 2010 to 2016. We are proud of our contribution to the universal effort of combatting Global Warming. But the job is not yet done. The work has just begun and it is up to all of us to do our share now to make it a reality.

it is not a global warming, you don't know what you are talking about. You are getting paid to read the dictated false information. The globe heals itself, it adjust itself. The lightnings will burn up the forest, it will produce vast amount of carbon emissions. It happened many times. Volcanoes are erupting since the creation of this earth. The phrase global warming is no longer used by Al Gore's people, it is obselete. It is correct to say, climate changes rather than global warming. It is still very, very cold during winter, and very very hot in summer, severe typhoon and hurricane in the spring, and in the fall. Who knows maybe it will snow in summer, Tha the real climate change. The climate can change in any given moment whether cold or hot.

Yes.
this DOES have a LOT to do with religion.
Saying that "god" said to "Subdue" the earth and control it, with "Dominion" over it...
is part of the problem.
RELIGION itself is the problem.
Once we realize we are PART of nature, and not "put here to subdue it".
THEN, we can work WITH nature, not trying to dominate it.

the bishop said we should "pray"
i have an idea...
instead of praying, lets spend that time and energy trying to fix the problems we created.

Best to use the balite tree in reforesting.
Do it.
